As many of you know, NetSquared is a project of the nonprofit, CompuMentor, so we have to give a big shout out to one of our Board Members, Lucy Bernholz.  Lucy's blog, Philanthropy 2173, was named a Fast Company "best blog".  You can listen to Lucy, Howard Rheingold and Paul Saffo's panel, "Making the Most of Disruption," from the NetSquared Conference here.

We also want to say congrats to BlogHer, one of the NetSquared Conference's media sponsors, for their nomination as 2006 Weblog Awards Finalist for Best Online Community. You can hear BlogHer co-founder Lisa Stone, Catherine Geanuracos, Christine Herron, Fran Maier and Susan Mernit's NetSquared Conference panel, "Gender and the Social Web: New Tools . . .Same Stuff?" here, and BlogHer co-founder Elisa Camahort, Tara Hunt, Chris Messina and Marnie Webb's panel, "Distributed Grassroots Marketing: Letting Your Community, Advocates, Evangelists, and Fans Do the Heavy Lifting" here.
